Relatively short process considering what I usually hear about IBM's recruiting. I applied on the 26th of October. On the 9th of November I received an email about a cognitive assessment and two days after an email about a coding assessment. Since I originally applied for the Cognitive Developer Internship, I had a REST API problem and a data mining problem. So study the requests package and the pandas package if you're in the same boat. If you originally apply for a Data Science Internship, however, you'll have an SQL problem and ML problem which can easily be completed with the scikit-learn package. After not hearing anything for 3 weeks I contacted IBM Opportunities and was forwarded to the concerned recruiting team with whom I scheduled a phone interview with. The initial phone interview with a recruiter was a breeze. I just spoke about my education, motivations, and briefly explained a recent relevant project. A week after, I had a video interview with an actual IBM Data scientist. We walked through two of my recent projects with them. Much more technical than with the recruiter. I then had to answer some coding questions over a shared document related to pandas. Finally, I had two technical questions and after an hour the interview was over! 3 hours later, I received an offer!
